ABSTRACT
This research aims to determine the effectiveness of the cattle assistance program and the policy factors of livestock development that influence the effectiveness of the cattle assistance program in Bone Bolango Regency. A total of 130 farmers were used for primary data collection through questionnaires. Descriptive statistics, Important Performance Analysis (IPA), and SEM-PLS were used to analyze data obtained. The results of this research indicate that the cattle assistance program in Bone Bolango Regency tends to be effective due to the benefits gains both materially and non-materially. However, there was still a need for improvements and evaluations due to the community’s lack of understanding of the government’s Bali cattle assistance. Resources, implementer disposition or attitude, and bureaucratic structure have a positive and significant impact on the effectiveness of the cattle assistance program policy in Bone Bolango Regency, both directly and indirectly (through communication). Communication also has a significant impact on the effectiveness of the cattle assistance program policy in Bone Bolango Regency. This indicates that public policy factors in the development of the agricultural and livestock sectors in Bone Bolango Regency will enhance the effectiveness of the cattle assistance program policy for farmers, leading to their improved welfare.
